Wesley,

that was a guy that ran down in SC (Aiken maybe?). I haven't seen him around in a while.

He was on Sgrid more than anything.

Monty,

I've been running the Ascendancy Effortless Clutch for roughly a month now, and I can honestly say it's by far the best system I've ever run....and I've tried pretty much all of them (I don't want to burn any manufacturers on here). Way smoother than the other aluminum clutches, more punch than a carbon, and better wear than anything I've run before. (2 and a half gallons on my original shoes and still going) The clutch is simple to install/maintain. Loading of the springs is really slick and easy.
I come from a carpet touring car background, so I searched for the last year and a half to find a ultra linear feeling clutch that still had the punch to clear anything and everything without blowing the tires off. This is it.
You won't be disappointed with performance.
Feel free to PM or email me with any questions or if you need more details.

Thanks,
Dan Yourga

dan pretty much summed it up with his post, our local indoor track is very slick and i set mine up with the four softest springs in buggy and man was it ever smooth! that was as close to an electric feeling i have ever had with a nitro setup, and as dan said still plenty of pop to clear the big jumps without spinning the tires. with the assortment of springs that comes with it you should be able to adjust it for any application in a minimal amount of time!
